4 In the Bible, Saint John describes the happenings on Palm Sunday: "The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, they took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!"

5 During Palm Sunday services, large palm branches are carried in procession to represent the palm branches the crowd scattered in front of Jesus as he rode into Jerusalem.
